N The RAILWAY WORLD.
A General Reduction in Freight Rates
Reported from Chicago to the
Missouri River,
Which, 1t Is Now Claimed, VIII Result
in the Less of SIC, 000,0 900
Annually.
Gen. McNulta, the Wabash Receiver,
Evidently Bound to Make
Things Lively.

The meeting of the general managers
of the Western roads has resulted III a
general reduction of rates which will
extend from Chicago to Missouri river
points and up and down the river from
Sioux City to Council Bluffs or further.
This Is a general sweeping reduction to
take effect probably January |, but pos
Sibly as early as Dec. 20. This result
has been brought about by the railroad
companies themselves, of their own Vo-
litiOn. and with no other pressure eX-
cept that eXerted among them
selves. The rates were for the
first five classes 80, IS. 30, 50, so.
They are now reduced to -, GO, 10. so, %,
and soon to the lowest class, which is
about Is per cent. The estimated loss
of the roads in consequence of this re-
duction is placed at $l0,000,000 annually.
and every dollar of this sum comes out
of the net earnings. The Illinois dis
tance tariffs are already arranged, the
Iowa representatives are buSily at work
getting their distance tariffs in shape so
as to harmonic with the new reduced
through rates. and Chairman Midgley
has issued call for the Missouri inter
ested roadS-ChicagO d Alton, Burling-
ton. Rock Island. Missouri Pacific, Han
nibal q ST. Joe. Milwaukee Il st. Paul,
Wabash and Fort Scott and Guif-to
meet at Chicago Wednesday next to
take up the work. In speaking of this
widespread reduction the Chicago Times
declares that 1.-The trouble has been pre-
cipitated on the lines by their own greed
and their anxiety to get business from
Eastern roads on pro rata that Las
ended by costing them 800 for every
dollar gained by the interchange. 1t
does not make a tuppence differe n ;e
which road was primarily responsible;
whether if was the Wabash, which for
six months made a 13-cent lower rate
from Toledo to st. Louis than from Chi
cagO, and then suddenly discovereI that
it was crying injustice TO this city;
the Rock Island. which held Daven-
ports and Rock Islands interests above
that of all the remainder of the line;
the Burlington, which is charged with
secretly prorating while maintaining a
VirtuoUS outward appearance, or any of
the others. First OF last. they cuddled
the Eastern roads and allowed them to
make the through rates and ignore the
Chicago termini. New they are about
TO reap the harvest, and the crop Is
bad one for Them

an atmosphere of protection. He
has sat at the feet of the high-tariff
GamalielS of that state and imbibed
their doctrines. Like all Pennsylya-
mans, Republicans and Democrats, he
believes in enormous duties on imports
for the purpose of cOddling the mill
bosses and protecting the so-called sin
FAINT industries which long ago came of
age and ought to be able to go alone.
Every Pennsylvania believes that the
protective system promotes his interests,
and that in promoting his interests it
enhances the general good of the public.
1t is almost needless to say that Mr..
Blaine, as well as other Pennsylvania
Republicans In taking this position,
makes no account of the presidents of
1857, of 1882 S3, or of the platform of
1884, which explicitly declares: The
Republican party pledges itself to cor
rect the irregularities of the tariff and
to reduce the surplus They even
fought the small reductions of 1885.
The Blaine interview will have to stand
upon its merits. and it will be
Endorsed or condemned in accord
ance with the value of the argu-
ments set forth, and the public jHdg-i
ment will not be Influenced by the dis
tinguiShed name behind them. 1t lis
the weakest ground MI. Blaine has ever
yet occupied. and no national party can
expect to go into presidential cam-
paign OH that issue, no matter who may,
he its leader, and win. 1t is in posi-
ton of direct hostility TO the report of
the tariff commission and to the Repub-
lican platform of 1884. Upon this queS-
ton, therefore, we beg leave to differ
from Mr.. Blaine, as he differs from us.
Freely acknowledging his right to his
own belief, as Republican we claim
the same right as such another, free to
state our belief, that in leading the Co
horts of the cOddled state of Pennsyl-
vania with his eutenants-Randall,
Kelly. Cameron and McPhersOn-he
Will find that Pennsylvania is but one
state, and that there is large army out
side its borders who do not propose to
be levied upon any longer for its benefit.
1.-The surplus question must be settled
in some way. and in a different way
from what it has been settled. 1t can
not be settled in accordance with the
Blaine idea"
